In addition to providing an indication of how all 50 states rate, the
study also addresses some longstanding rivalries, such as:

East Coast versus West Coast;

Republicans versus Democrats;

New York versus New Jersey;

North Carolina versus South Carolina.

“If you’ve ever been cut off by someone with an out-of-state plate and
thought, ‘Oh, it figures,’ this study may be for you,” said Adam
Johnson, QuoteWizard content manager. “QuoteWizard analyzed millions of
datapoints on drivers from throughout the US and what we found provides
a pretty interesting and sometimes surprising snapshot of the best and
worst drivers in America.”

Methodology

QuoteWizard sampled incident data (with more than 2 million data points)
from drivers who used its services and linearly extrapolated it to Federal
Highway Administration fatality data. To quantify overall driver
standards for comparison, QuoteWizard then weighted various incident
counts for each state with its occurrence percentage. The final rankings
are a sum of weighted means which is calculated from total accidents,
speeding tickets, DUI, citations and fatalities.
